I'm starting to think it's a lost cause. All this, just to keep your head above water for many. With all this happening, when does one get time to get his oil changed or his teeth cleaned or have a cup of coffee with his wife?

I think I'm going to change careers to a more admirable one like driving a taxi in NYC. The sad truth is, for many musicians (except maybe Don M.....you'll have to cut him down with an ax!) the glory days of big money are over
